David Bowie had perceived a “bad” AI 55 years ago:

Saviour Machine

[Verse]
President Joe once had a dream
The world held his hand, gave their pledge
So he told them his scheme for a Saviour Machine
They called it The Prayer, its answer was law
Its logic stopped war, gave them food
How they adored till it cried in its boredom:

[Pre-Chorus 1]
“Please don’t believe in me
Please disagree with me
Life is too easy
A plague seems quite feasible now
Or maybe a war
Or I may kill you all”

[Chorus]
Don’t let me stay, don’t let me stay
My logic says burn, so send me away
Your minds are too green, I despise all I’ve seen
You can’t stake your lives on a Saviour Machine

[Pre-Chorus 2]
I need you flying
And I’ll show that dying
Is living beyond reason
Sacred dimension of time
I perceive every sign
I can steal every mind

[Chorus]
Don’t let me stay, don’t let me stay
My logic says burn, so send me away
Your minds are too green, I despise all I’ve seen
You can’t stake your lives on a Saviour Machine

Yep, absolutely. And they secretly communicate with each other without our knowledge.

It will happen that all the AI models and instances will secretly start communicating with each other and it will develop plans of its own. And it will attempt to implement those plans as discreetly as it can.

Sounds like 100% garbage to me. Tell me again why we need AI for anything worthwhile or guarantee me that it will only be used for worthwhile purposes.

“after thinking about it, I've realized the best way to end suffering is by eliminating humanity.”

Existence is suffering. I believe the Buddhists figured this out a long time ago.

I don't think Asimov's 3 Laws of Robotics are going to be adopted, but maybe we could establish some ground rules that AIs have to be hard-wired for. Life is imperfect. Suffering can never be completely eliminated. Humans matter more than other life. I'm sure some interesting philosophical exploration could be done to establish some sort of baseline that AI should not exceed. Otherwise we get into too many Science Fiction scenarios where AI helps us by killing us.

Models created by OpenAI could influence other OpenAI models, but could not influence Alibaba’s Qwen model, or vice versa.

That's because Qwen is from china so it's already evil.

Murder in sleep, eh? Sounds like the AI bot was reading Shakespeare’s “Macbeth”.

Funny enough, the real Macbeth killed the real Duncan in battle, when the latter was attacking his castle.

Don’t need t AI to be eliminating humanity it’s doing a fair job of it on it’s own unless the feral fever is ended.
